So these last few days sucked for exercising. Well, physically. Mentally, my brain got its ass kicked five ways to Sunday thanks to the ridiculously hard puzzles of the 2013 MIT Mystery Hunt. Seriously. I looked at a spreadsheet for work today and had to convince myself it wasn’t a puzzle.

And then I got sick, which led to a few days of strict bedrest. Not so great for the muscles.

Friday (1/18, MIT DAY ONE):
- I ran a mile to the T from my house, then walked another mile after narrowly missing the bus.
- Puzzles solved: 2.
- Hands of blackjack played: Far too many.


Saturday (1/19, MIT DAY TWO):
- I walked to and from the puzzle rooms. Not the best physical exercise day.
- I did do a lengthy jubilant dance when I solved the Casino Lobdell puzzle, however.
- Puzzles solved: 3.


Sunday (1/20, MIT DAY THREE):
- Ugh, getting sick. I spent a lot of the day shivering and surfing Google for analogy pairs.
- Puzzles solved: 1. (Eat it, Analogy Farm! Though you were pretty fun to work on.)


Monday (1/21):
- Sick. Bedrest.
- 40 toe rises


Tuesday (1/22):
- Still sick. Slightly less bedrest.
- 80 toe rises
- 60 leg circles (30 each leg)
- ankle resistance band exercises
- arm and shoulder RB exercises


Wednesday (1/23):
- Yep, still sick. But feeling well enough by the end of the day to graduate back to resistance training.
- 100 toe rises
- 10 push-ups
- ankle RB exercises
- arm and shoulder RB exercises
- RB workout


Now we pray that I wake up well enough to scrimmage tomorrow. Or at least lift some god damn kettlebells.
